About

Nippon Motion began in 2010 as a monthly Japanese music Happy Hour hosted by Rob Perry at several venues throughout Baltimore, MD. In addition to DJ setsaccompanied by visuals, several events featured special themes such as film & live concert screenings, a retrospective exhibition of Thee Michelle Gun Elephant(THEE TRIBUTE), and music performances.

This original idea was re-imagined in 2015 when Rob collaborated with Michael Young (OTS Productions) to create 「DELI FANTASY」, a recurring event featuring guest DJs, Japanese music videos, commercials and custom/thematic video content.

In 2017 Nippon Motion expanded to encompass multiple existing and new projects that promote Japanese culture, including B•A•D (Baltimore Anime Denizens), Japanese green tea education, and Baltimore-Japan Art Festival.
